Not a lot of choices in Statesville but can't go wrong with Daylight. Friendly service as always. They run out of donuts pretty quick so if you want a big order like a dozen you can call in ahead of time and they will get it done. They have small tables inside that you can sit down and enjoy your food. Cash only. $10.68 for a dozen as of today

This is a great local donut shop! If you want a better pick of donuts, I suggest arriving bright and early. When I arrived at 8:30 AM on a rainy morning, there were only a 1-2 donuts of each variety to choose. They were busy baking new ones, but it seemed like they were getting sold as fast as they were getting made. Daylight Donuts only takes cash, so make sure you at least have $15 (to be safe) on you if you want to buy a dozen donuts.

Very very nice people that work there. Best donuts around. The place is quiet and they run out of bake goods quick.

Great customer service and the food is off the chain delicious. Have a couple of donuts and you'll be in a diabetic coma for days LOL seriously you gotta try their awesome offerings. And the ambiance....hang out and get high off the sweet essence of their sweet treats.

could be poor timing on my part so I'll have to try again later but as it stands we're just over a deuce...Same great name, not quite the same donut experience. The tired wall art and cash only policy makes for an odd visit. Stopped here ahead of lunch time after running around town looking for work and school and stuff expecting something nutter and more doughy...It's an old timey mom and pop shop and, while I ordinarily get all swoony about this sort of thing, M J's just doesn't work for me. Possibly because the pickings were slim and the atmosphere seemed intentionally stagnant - an awkward jumble of musical references and sports themes and regional flavors; coloring book pages, vinyl records, vintage food and drink containers, sad clown art... all of which could be overlooked if I could maybe get a cruller? or a fritter?

I went here for my first time today.... As a pregnant woman, I started naturally craving donuts at night when there was no where to get a donut lol, so I started to do my research. I knew I wanted authentic donuts... the reviews were great for this location, so I got up at 7am and came to see what it was all about.They were unfortunately already out of the cinnamon rolls.. I was looking forward to trying those the most. So I got raspberry filled, classic glazed, the pumpkin spice, maple and cinnamon sugar.All of them - simply amazing.It's only a little over $10 for a dozen and the experience was pleasant. I am definitely coming back to get my cinnamon roll!Made a pregnant mama happy :-)

Stopped in on my way to work to grab a few assorted donuts to share with my co-workers. These donuts were hot, fresh and delicious. When I arrived to work everyone grabbed a donut and coffee and headed to our morning meeting. All I heard was hmmmmm delicious... These donuts were definitely worth $8.00 for a dozen. Make sure to bring cash as they don't accept credit card. I'll be back next month before our meeting. Great establishment with friendly staff.

This is an old school, mom and pop location. Daylight Donuts is a national chain with around 1,000 locations. I've been to some that are modern and new, and this one in Statesville has more of an independent vibe like they've been there since the 70's with very few changes. But it's the donuts that matter and they continue to make a great donut following the recipe of Tommy and Lucille Day's light batter recipe. The glazed old fashioned was excellent, and I really liked their baked cinnamon roll, which is also offered fried. There weren't too many donuts in the case, but from what I ordered, they were all fresh and delicious. You won't find crazy, trendy flavors here... but you'll always get an affordable, fresh donut.

I am a self proclaimed donut connoisseur. I have tried every fancy donut shop that crosses my path and these are hands down my favorite. They are pillowy soft and sugary sweet.. just like I like my donuts. The coconut and chocolate are my favorite but even their plain glazed is exceptional. 10 stars!
